Features

Media selection validation

Existing media will now be validated in the image, file and gallery field popups! Using the field’s min, max and mime_type settings, invalid media items will be displayed in a disabled state and will also display a clear message to the user when selected.

Tab field endpoints

Another awesome feature request which has made it’s way into ACF PRO is the ability to set a tab field as an ‘endpoint’. This tells ACF to start a new tab group!

Now, a field group can contain multiple tab groups, each with their own layout style (left / top). Here’s a tip: Create a new tab field and mark it as an endpoint, remove the field’s label (leave it blank) and you have just created a tab group stopper! This tab won’t display due to it’s lack of label, but will prevent all following fields from being hidden!
